Question:

256. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Social Protection the percentage of social media videos posted on her Department's social media accounts or the social media accounts of public bodies and agencies that operate under the remit of her Department, that included closed captioning, subtitling and Irish sign language translations between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022, inclusive. [5577/23]

Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

Between 01 January 2022 and 31 December 2022, 90% of the videos posted on the Department's social media channels included subtitles.  Of the bodies and agencies that operate under the remit of my Department, 100% included subtitles.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
